It's that time of year when people love to travel...not so much to far away lands, but to simply visit friends and relatives, or to check out a new city within the country they live in. If you live in a major city in the United States, you are liable to have requests to host a friend or two.

There are times when you just need to take a day off...not because you have anything in particular to get done. You simply need to take a day to refresh and to relax. I know...you're thinking that's what weekends and actual vacations are for. Well, stop thinking that.

The new thing old heads like to complain about are how much we use these devices. They even criticize how we use these devices. There are times where phone usage is inappropriate or annoying, but for the most part, people are just complaining to complain.

I logged on to Twitter early this morning...I have go to stop doing that, by the way. I tend to have a timeline full of trolling and/or arguing about anything from how you would feel "If ya girl had an attractive male ObGyn" to if Lauryn Hill's fake-deep ass has her spirit in line enough to take the stage within a 30-minute window of her scheduled performance time). It can't be a good way to start your day. Anyway, I logged on to the Twitter, and I see people arguing about traveling.

There have been studies conducted that show that Americans are overwhelmed. Yes...overwhelmed. I'm just as surprised as you are. I thought we were known for being one of the laziest countries in the world. These studies actually show that nearly three-quarters of workers say they are stressed at work, with 25% reporting they are either “very” or “extremely” stressed. Of course Americans are going to feel this way. There is a huge population of full-time employees who leave their paid time off (PTO) unused.

True, there are times that traveling in groups can be extremely fun, but on the flip side, there can be a number of annoying and frustrating things that play a role in traveling with an ensemble of people.

Steppers are a unique people. It's not just a form of dance; it's a movement...pun intended. What makes stepping so unique, though? That'd be the fact that no matter what step team they were a member of, there is a universal lifestyle they live. Here are a few examples. Learn them. Understand them. Respect them.

Being a frequent traveler, whether it be domestic or international travel can be very fun, but as one becomes more accustomed to traveling, there can be a few things that become quite annoying or irritating. Hell, some things are even annoying to those who don't travel very often.
